Can’t See The Forest For The Trees?

In business and in life - there will be times when you feel there are SO MANY OPTIONS.

And quite frankly, you don’t have a clue where to start.

Know what I do when the world starts to spin?

I head to my tree house.

Yes - I have my very own tree house sitting high above 3 1/2 acres of trees.

Two Perspectives For Fresh Thinking

The great thing is there are 2 perspectives from the tree house.  Both beautiful, both relaxing and both offering me fresh takes on the ever-changing landscape.

  • The high one that overlooks the tree tops.
  • The one underneath with a tire swing and a bench that looks into the field and bushes.

It’s basic but it does the job.

“And what is the job” you ask?

Getting my head together in a quiet place.

Can You See The Forest For The Trees?

Hey listen.

It doesn’t matter what state of growth you are in business or selling - at times it will feel overwhelming.

I have a fabulous virtual team of people helping my business grow but they still need direction from me.

The thing is - I need direction from me too.

So when all this sales stuff is starting to drive you crazy - go find a place outside with a pen and a notepad.

And ask yourself this question (the very same question I ask myself in my tree house every day)

“What is the MOST IMPORTANT THING I need to do to grow my business today?”

Don’t focus on a million things and get nothing done.

Instead focus on ONE THING TODAY that will help take you another level.

Following up with a client, preparing for a meeting, launching an e-zine…deep down you will know the most important thing that needs to happen.

(Probably the one you have been avoiding lady!)

It will give you clarity and keep you on track so you don’t have STUNTED GROWTH.

Who said so?
